Hi
I have recently bought a Caravelle with 14" Carat wheels.
I've looked at the lowering kits to take it down 60mm but with the wheels I'd like to go down lower.
Does anyone do lower kits ?
I realise I could put bigger wheels on to close the gap in the arches but I really like the wheels.

Re: Lowering a T25/T3
Hi Neil
Lots of data and ideas on lowering - check the WIKI (see the second item on the top of this page!). Of just use the search function for "lowering"
I am in the middle of lowering by 40mm .. enough for me as my bum is not ready for a bumpy ride!
However, removing the original front spring was a pig of a job so make sure you have strong muscles and a set of spring compressors! 
Let us know how you get on!

70mm really is the max as you run out of camber adjustment.
